We are now in one of the years sparsest periods of planetary activity with a relatively good spread of planets As a result moods and emotions may not be quite as stretched as of late with a more easy going and relaxed atmosphere. Nevertheless there may be still a degree of nervous energy and this may contribute to some apprehension or emotional restlessness.

For the most part however moods and emotions should be subject to few great highs or lows and broadly resemble the equivalent of the emotional doldrums. This is largely due to the current phase of the Moon that will contribute to a more sedate and unhurried disposition with little sense of urgency or ambition. This means it may feel harder to get going and will suit those able to place few demands on their time and effort. On the other hand those under a tight deadline may come to feel especially pressured. and may struggle to complete their tasks.

With this phase of the Moon there is sometimes an accompanying sense of melancholia, doubt, or lack of confidence, with the possibility of depression. In addition there may be a general lack of enthusiasm and trouble in making up ones mind even over the moist trivial of choices. While these feelings may not be too accentuated they could cause problems for some and there may be subtle fears and worries that at times may come to be unsettling. For just a few there may be enough of a sensitive atmosphere to produce feelings of a threatening or turbulent nature, but this may be far from an average experience of this period.

Alert is 6.5. Moon 47% illuminated.
